Mother board how do i remove a mother board

Answers :

Oh thats easy.!. Well here we go: First you need a screwdriver, and a calm hand and patience; then we can start...\015\012\015\012\015\012

Power off your computer

\015\012

Disconnect all cabling at the back of the computer. Maybe you want to note which cable goes where so that later it is easier for you to put back the cables.

\015\012

Open your computer case (the one that is opposite of the motherboard.

\015\012

Now you can either use a "digital camera" ro assist you; so you make pictures of the board configurations, or you can make drawings to guide you (You probably want to put a new motheroard into the PC so you also want to know where the cables will go right ???

\015\012

Disconnect your cables from your motherboard that come from your power supply. Also disconnect the wires going to your drives ( CD-ROM, DVD) that come from the Power supply.

\015\012

Now disconnect your Data cables ( IDE or SATA cables) that run from your CD-ROM / DVD and hard drives. Just remember their configeration.

\015\012

Now, disconnect the other cables, mainly audio, cpu fan cable, chassis fan cable and audio drive through cables and any other cables attached to your MB.

\015\012

Next up we have the removal of devices that are direclty attached to your MB. Remove the RAM (Do not touch the RAM on the chips, rather hold it at the sides), remove all add in PCI cards like network card,graphics card etc and put them in seperate anti-static containers

\015\012

Now its time to get the proc: Remove the heatsink+fan by unscrewing it from the MB; there must be four screws around the MB. If you have removed the Heatsinkwithfan, you will see the proc. There must be either a little switch, a screw or lever to "release the proc" from its "socket" otherwise you will damage your proc and or your motherboard. If you have released the lever, you can remove the proc. lay it somewhere, so that its pins or chips lie down.

\015\012

Check if there are addional devices that need to be removed.

\015\012

Next, unscrew the MB from the casing, There should be about 6-12 screws on the MB.

\015\012

All done: All you need to do now is remove the motherboard slowly from its rest, take it out and put it somewhere safe

\015\012

All done

\015\012Next up would be: How do I install a motherboard.\015\012\015\012Kind Regards,\015\012Dominik
